Having spent the summer touring America in support of their 10th studio album, X, Def Leppard have penciled in a visit to the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on the 13th of February 2003 as part of the European leg of their tour. No Dublin dates have been announced as yet.

2002 marked Def Leppard's 25th year in the business since they first assembled in a Sheffield council flat, with the release of X re-affirming Joe Elliot and his hard rocking crew as one of the world's premier rock bands. As Elliot says, “Second best was never good enough.”
